Description
100 mg of ginkgo leaf extract, and 6 mg of boron (as bororganic glycine) to support healthy male sexual function.
The ingredients in this formula help to facilitate healthy blood flow and support the efficient production and proper utilization of male sex hormones, including testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS). Maintaining proper blood flow and healthy levels of these hormones are key factors for an optimal sex drive.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Tongkat ali has been shown in clinical trials to help optimize testosterone levels that are critical for the support of sexual desire and fertility, including sperm concentration and motility
- Tribulus supports sexual desire by helping the body maintain a normal balance of male sex hormones
- Horny goat weed has traditionally been used to promote erectile function through its hormone-supportive properties
- DIM and chrysin are compounds that help maintain the proper balance of testosterone to estrogen, an important factor in promoting male sexual desire
- Ginkgo biloba may help promote normal blood flow
- Boron may be helpful for promoting the conversion of total testosterone to free testosterone making it more available in the body
- Gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free
- Suitable for vegetarians and vegans
